Chapter 904: Chapter 902: Rotten Flesh (23) (Extra for the “Yin Tier” Alliance “Jequent” 5/5) Chapter 904: Chapter 902: Rotten Flesh (23) (Extra for the “Yin Tier” Alliance “Jequent” 5/5) Do you really know him?
Jiang En’s sigh was full of wistful profundity and full of Zen, fully expressing the enlightennt of a person who had let go of obsessions and reached a thorough understanding.
And the audience, who were waiting for a good show, also ca to a conclusion promptly.
Does this an the appointnt is real?
Nobody expected that the mysterious person had a duel appointnt with Jiang En, and when the ti ca, Jiang En, due to the inability to break through his bottleneck, felt desolate and chose to abandon the path of the Transcendent?
It looks like there might not be any excitent to watch after all.
Especially since Jiang En’s current attitude seems to include giving up even the resources of his family, showing no signs of fighting spirit.
“You’re a bit early, and also a bit late.”
anwhile, Jiang En’s reflection was yet to end.
“If I’m not mistaken, the appointed ti should be tonight.”
“But the reason I say you’re late is that I have already recognized my true self and let go of my obsessions. Now I am not interested in contending with you.”
Jiang En observed Fu Qian’s masked face.
“If the Ming King insists, I can even kneel down and admit defeat, admitting that my reputation is undeserved.”
This utterly unguarded stance caused quite a stir among the Jiang Family.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengqing, who was in charge, just furrowed his brows without speaking out in haste.
Jiang En’s words seed extrely weak, but his presence here was just right.
If the Grand Fate Ming Emperor really ca to make a na for himself, forcibly demanding a kneeling surrender would only be detrintal.
And this reasonable defeat, given Jiang En’s prior attitude, did not damage the reputation of the Jiang Family too much.
For a mont, he eagerly awaited Fu Qian’s reaction.
“I might not be ruthless, but I also won’t be fooled by a few words. Too many in Shangjing have avoided battle by dodging.”
However, after sizing up Jiang En, the Grand Fate Ming Emperor just humd.
“You say you’ve let go of your obsessions, but do you dare send these people away and answer a few questions alone?”
This…
After hearing Fu Qian’s suggestion, almost everyone, including Jiang Chengqing, instinctively wanted to refuse.
For Jiang Chengqing, this man was unpredictable; what if he actually killed soone?
That would be even more definitive than Jiang En’s disassociation from the family—going from slim hope to none.
Even if that weren’t the case, what if this guy, after the chat, went out and claid Jiang En was actually cowardly and had assud the earlier posture out of fear, when in reality he broke down and begged for rcy in private?
“Alright.”
However, unexpectedly, after hearing the suggestion, Jiang En considered it briefly and then nodded in agreent.
Isn’t that too straightforward!
“No, it’s not up to you to decide here!”
Jiang Chengqing was still surprised when soone else already took the initiative to rebuke.
“Then I’ll go outside first and talk to the Ming King in private.”
Jiang En seed to have anticipated this, remaining composed.
…
The crowd was abruptly at a loss for words.
Going outside, wouldn’t that be even less controllable than the current situation?
“It seems the Ming King has so words he doesn’t want others to hear, how long will it take?”
At that mont, Jiang Chengqing made a quick decision and asked in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry, half an hour will suffice.”
Jiang En looked at Fu Qian, and without rejecting, Fu Qian directly replied.
“Alright.”
Jiang Chengqing didn’t ask further and imdiately arranged for everyone to exit, leaving the hall desolate in a blink.
…
Cough—
Seeing that Fu Qian was not in a hurry to speak, Jiang En finally cleared his throat.
“No matter whether the Ming King believes it or not—”
“I believe it.”
Unfortunately, he was cut off as soon as he started to speak.
“It’s obvious you’ve been practicing hard.”
So this guy really saw it all…
Jiang En’s breath hesitated for a mont.
“Don’t worry, I’ve always been discreet. I’m here only to verify a few questions with you.”
Fu Qian walked over and sat down, signaling Jiang En to relax.
To speak of it, this was no easy feat; the resources he could use had been pushed to the limit, a testant to a painstaking effort.
“What questions?”
Jiang En, still sowhat guardedly, asked.
“Simple, who told you about the ritual?”
But even though he was fully prepared for anything, Fu Qian’s next question still created a tempest in Jiang En’s heart.
He knows about the ritual…
He knows what I am doing…
But how could he possibly know?
So, was he truly helping by creating those claw marks?
Was his so-called fa and fortune all an act?
“Focus, you have five minutes to answer.”
Fu Qian reminded him coolly.
“Nobody told , it’s sothing I saw on my own.”
And facing the rush, Jiang En hesitated only for seconds.
“Oh? Under what circumstances did you see it?”
Fu Qian’s tone was emotionless.
“It was a very strange state, like a mont of sudden enlightennt, and then so information appeared in my mind.”
Jiang En’s gaze beca unfocused as if lost in a particular mory.
“Let rephrase the question.”
Fu Qian shook his head and sighed, causing Jiang En to focus his attention again.
“Have you ever, at a certain ti, in front of a special being, assud any particular posture?”
“…Yes, a few months ago.”
Jiang En started gritting his teeth halfway through Fu Qian’s question, thereafter responding with decisiveness.
“Excellent, I think we have a good starting point.”
Brother Jiang En finally showed a willingness to communicate sincerely, and Fu Qian nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed it was an oath.
“Next question, who led you to do this?”
“A person nad Daneta. I encountered him by chance when I was out, and after a brief contact, he seed to see my troubles and ntioned a potential opportunity.”
“I didn’t believe it at first, but after completing so bizarre actions as he suggested, I really received enlightennt about the ritual.”
“So it was those you perford in the hotel?”
“…No.”
That explains it; Jiang En did not dodge the question again, and Fu Qian expressed his satisfaction.
The content of the ritual did not seem like sothing one could perform just anywhere.
He even ntioned encountering Daneta outside. Why didn’t he complete it there and then co back? Why seek excitent in Shangjing?
Surely he didn’t anticipate Gulad’s downfall months in advance and plan to use it to strike at a rival, did he?
There must have been a complication.
“I couldn’t do it.”
This ti without waiting for Fu Qian to ask, Jiang En continued on his own.
“My first revelation was the complete opposite; the content of the ritual was like guiding out my true self, allowing it to grow and strengthen.”
“At first, I was thrilled and began the ritual with Daneta’s help. However, as it progressed, I realized I was losing myself, at risk of being consud by the awakened beast within.”
“Eventually, I snuck back to Shangjing before reaching an irreversible turning point.”
